7. Fake

7. Fake

Um… Someone might tell me.

Just looking at this means she doesn’t like you.

Actually, there was a time when I also thought that way for a while.

Originally, I only looked at Inazuke as ‘a kid who gets tired when he’s with me and a childhood friend’.

But then, when I entered the second year of junior high school, Nazuke Ii matured to a certain extent in many ways, and I saw her as a turning point, from being just her little girl to looking at her as a ‘person and childhood friend who gets tired of being around’. I was hit

At the beginning, I suddenly thought, Is this a normal friendship relationship? That’s what I thought.

Why did you think that?

If you think about it, it seems that there are still times like that, but since childhood, when you were with me, you sometimes show anime-specific blushing (blush) that no one notices (I don’t understand at all, but people here No one notices that the silver face has turned red unless it turns red.)

On Valentine’s Day, in front of others, they make heart-shaped handmade chocolates for me every year, saying friendship chocolate, won’t they mislead you?

-Actually, I understood that this was just because she was angry every time she thought about it, so I didn’t care too much about it- but I couldn’t stop thinking about it because of her actions like this, which irritated her by repeatedly mentioning her refusal to marry when she was young. It just had to be done.

Because of that, I made an assumption that might be my own delusion,

If she likes me, I have no choice but to reject her heart.

To avoid hurting her. Also, for the continuation of her friendship with her

When she was in her second year of middle school, there was a time when she distanced herself from her for a while, such as cutting down on her conversation with her and leaving her home separately.

But after a while, she heard that she had a boyfriend, and realized that her troubles were completely my mistake.

She used to struggle at the thought that she had been overly self-conscious.

…Even now, it is sometimes used as a blanket kick.

And after this happened, I became wary of excessive self-consciousness.

But thanks to that, I was able to clear her worries and feel relieved, knowing that she only looked at me as a close childhood friend.

After that I stopped avoiding her and became friendly with her again.

Shortly thereafter, when I heard that she had broken up with her boyfriend, an assumption came to my mind, but I thought that this was too self-conscious and decided to just pass it on.

…And after that, among students in the same grade,

It’s clear that Shujin Koo Haiseki likes Yoji Ii Nazuke, but maybe she likes her and her mutually?

I had a crush on Nazuke Ii, and my perception changed to a relationship that hurt her heart, so there was a time when I received a sympathetic gaze for a while and had a headache from her stress.

And so the next day came.

Today, fortunately Morish*ta Sakura came to her school and sat in her seat, and I quietly called her out.

Then I politely explained to her why she didn’t answer, along with an apology from her that she was sorry.

“I’m sorry… I was very embarrassed, I would have done the same in such a situation… I cried without knowing that, I’m sorry. After all, the answer must be refusal..?”

“Uh… I’m sorry”

“Oh no! Why are you sorry? I am sorry. My friend yelled at me that day and I was very surprised. I’m sorry… Actually, when I was young, I used to cry often because I was weak. He was a friend. But as he grew up, his crying decreased a lot, but he must have been very embarrassed when he suddenly cried and hugged him.”

She can’t bear to lift her head because she’s sorry.

She must have contributed greatly to her untainted personality in the original work.

“Oh, so about that time…”

I told her how rumors had spread about her on her day, and she seemed genuinely surprised.

And she apologized and promised to do her best to clear up the other children’s misunderstanding.

She first explained in detail what had happened to her overprotective friend,

So, her friend also came to me during break and apologized, promising to tell the children that the rumors were not true.

But at this time, I overlooked something.

No matter how hard they advertise, there are limits.

Good rumors are comparatively less interested and spread less than bad rumors.

This is the academy where the events in the original novel, where I later went to the main character, took place. At this time, I did not know that ‘Heebon Academy’ would play a decisive role in spreading bad rumors about me.

***

After that, time passed quickly, and the time came to decide which high school to go to.

And.

“Haiseki-kun, which school are you going to go to? I’m not curious at all, but well, listen.”

It’s finally here. Time to put the fake in.

That guy asked me like that when he was in elementary school or kindergarten

“Haiseki-kun doesn’t have any friends, so I’ll go with him specially!”

Because of that, I was predicting that this guy would do the same this time too.

That prediction came true.

And I took out the prepared answer and listened.

“Me? I just want to go to the nearby Chikai Academy.”

The academy the main character will go to is ‘Heebon Academy’, which is far away from where it takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

It is not an academy that is exceptionally good at studying, so even students who are good at studying go to the nearby Chikai academy or another academy instead of going to that academy.

Probably, even in our middle school, there are probably very few, if not none, people going to that academy, except for Kurutta and Morish*ta Sakura, who went to Heebon Academy in the original story.

And, because it was such a place, Iinazuke couldn’t even imagine that I would go there.

Wait, come to think of it, why did Kurutta go there?

“Hey- I see. Haiseki-kun, since I don’t have any friends, I’ll go to the same academy specially for you! I can study well and go to a better academy, but I’m going to go to the same school specially for Haiseki-kun? It’s an honor.”

She is sure to be proud and says she will go with you.

“Yes thank you very much.”

I was making an expression as if I was wondering what you were talking about, but inside I was delighted to say that I was caught up in it.

Why don’t you go with her?

Would you like to become a harem member? In fact, it was not a big deal as it was judged that the probability of her becoming a member of the main character’s harem would be extremely low, as she had already solved the case in the original work and had changed so much in many ways.

In fact, it is unnatural for beautiful girls to fall in love with an ordinary protagonist from the beginning because of an incident.

The people here are a little different from the original world, but they are the same people anyway.

For this reason, if only those specific incidents of falling in love with the main character that were prepared in the original work were removed

It was my judgment that no matter what else happened, or no matter how hard the main character tried, he wouldn’t fall in love with me that much.

Anyway, the reason why I don’t want to go with her.

First, the moment I inform him, my intuition tells me that there is a very high probability that he will follow me and say that he will go with me if he sees me first and says that he would rather go somewhere else. There was.

And secondly, even at the next school, it would be very distasteful for her to become a mother-in-law who unrequitedly loves Iinazuke.

Third and last, it is to prevent him from waking me up at a different, boring time every day even after entering high school. It wouldn’t be like that if I went to another school.

When I think of the hardships I had to wake up in the morning because of that guy, waking up up to three hours earlier than school start time, tears cover my eyes, really.

Of course, that day was the day my parents went on a trip.

Baekper must have done that sh*t on purpose.

…I usually go to work early, so there’s only a difference in the maximum time, but it’s still the same that he wakes me up at the time he wants by screaming and hitting me.

So that day, I told my parents that I wanted to go to Heebon Academy, and despite the excuses I had thought of during that time, my parents readily agreed to it, to the point of embarrassment, and said they would arrange a house for me.

When I was surprised and asked why you did this,

“Haiseki-kun until now, we couldn’t pay much attention to him because we weren’t good enough, but he grew up so well, right? You must have your own thoughts. Mom, trust Haiseki-kun!”

I’m going to disturb the main character’s harem…

I feel guilty… Yeah! In a way, this is a big and important thing, cancer!

“I think the same as your mother. Also, since the streets are streets, wouldn’t it be nice to develop independence at this time. Actually, it’s not that difficult to find a house like that. Don’t worry, I’ll find you a good house!”

Oh right, our family was rich, right?

In exchange for a bit of guilt, I even got a house near the academy to live by myself, and following the success of the fake earlier, I was once again happy inside.

That’s right, I almost forgot something important.

“Ah, please don’t tell Inazuke. There are circumstances, hahahaha…”

My parents were puzzled, but soon said they would understand, and that’s how I successfully finished my schooling.

***

Suddenly, in the morning, the second button on the school uniform that had been on until yesterday disappeared, passing the embarrassing graduation day, ten days before entering high school. It was only then that I apologized to Inazuke and told him that I was going to Heebon Academy.

She used to come to my house with nothing to do at least once every three days to play, but after that she stopped coming back.

I’m sorry!

***

Time passed quickly again, and the morning of the entrance ceremony at Heebon Academy dawned.

After getting ready to go to school in a decent two-story house 15 minutes away from the school my parents had saved, I left the house 45 minutes before school so that I could arrive 30 minutes earlier than school start time.

Nazuke Ii That son of a b*tch changes the time at her own pace, and it’s because she forcibly wakes up early, in fact, I also originally cautioned to go to school 30 minutes early.

The new school year in Japan begins in April, and thanks to that, I was able to walk down the street enjoying the April scenery of cherry blossoms fluttering in front of the changed house.

What kind of place is Heebon Academy that I am going to now?

For me, it is a special place where the main character goes and the background of the original work,

To briefly introduce Heebon Academy from the point of view of the general public

Simply put, it can be described as ‘an ordinary school itself’.
